block of academics have looked at the clinton administration and they didn't find any benefit in terms of crime rate. it didn't change. the only guns are banned were the ones that put the way they function. that also covered magazine faces. but i don't think the president wants to go and try to argue banning all semi automatic. he must military weapons, which is incorrect. you know, the reason why he doesn't is because most gun in the united states who could classify semi automatic weapons and people know the benefit. if you had action we kept on pulling back and looking at yourself, you're not going to do a fire very quickly. i found seven cases in december without trying for at least 10 shots were fired by victims to defend themselves and that's because you'd have three or four burglars break and simultaneously into their home. i think the president wants to make that claim. instead they go after small group of weapons based on how they look and i think they're going to have a hard time at the state level is a different story. >> thank you so much, dr. lott. >> thank you so much. app

president clinton came to us and said, here it is. we're going to cut spending and we're going to raise revenue. and we passed it. one vote in the house, one vote in the senate. not one republican vote, mind you. but one vote here and one vote in the house of representatives. that set the stage for the later efforts that finally led not only to a balanced budget, but to a surplus. and that's the approach we have to adopt today. it works. the republican budget calls for a total of $4.6 trillion in cuts and would leave the sequester in place. it would compound the damage of the sequester. the republican budget has also been estimated to provide millionaires an average tax cut of $400,000. once again the big winner in this proposal are the wealthiest americans, not those who are struggling to put food on the table, to get a job, to see their children have a better future. and they are refuse to go responsibly address the $1 trillion sequester. they provide nearly $6 trillion in tax cuts that, again, overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest

bush came in and he shredded the budget, he took a surplus that bill clinton and the democrats with some help from some republicans had put in place, they shredded it under george bush by giving tax breaks to the wealthiest, putting two wars on the credit card, a prescription drug plan that didn't allow medicare to negotiate for lower prices, and the deficit went wild. and it didn't even make sense from an -- i am an old -- i am old. i'm an old economics major, and i remember the basics. you know, you don't go into such deep, deep debt because if there is a recession, you can't really help spend your way out of it, and what happened is when president obama got elected, he faced the worst deficit crisis. that deficit went up to well over a trillion. he's gotten it back to $850 billion. it's still too high, but the fact is i never heard a word from my really good friends on the other side of the aisle. when they were racking up those deficits. oh, this supply-side stuff is going to be great. well, it wasn't great, it wasn't good, and i'm glad that this budget takes us back to the notion in

i'll never forget a trip i took to see -- right after president clinton had seen pta ssad in jan 2004. prior to the trip, the prime minister conveyed to us what it is he wanted to see come out of it. we actually produced what it is he wanted to see come out of it. i walked to the meeting, we feeling highly confident that we did what you asked, and the first thing he did was devalued with what i came with. why did he do it? he knew i was asking something of him. if you go to the kinds of meetings and the expectations are very high, each leader is suddenly worries about what you ask of them. when the expectations are low, then you're in a better situation to have a serious conversation. and you can explore, what are the possibilities here? maybe the way you frame the conversation is what are the consequences of not getting anything done with each side? if the congresses consequenceses are severe enough how can we think together about what it is possible? where could we be some point of commonality we can build on? i expect, you know, you have -- it will end up being, you know, serious c

185 different welfare programs -- and it block grants the largest, most expensive ones just as bill clinton did with aid to families with dependent children. so you have this reform of entitlements, reform of the various welfare programs and tax reform taking the top rate on individuals to 25%, the bottom rate to 10%. so you have two rates, 10 and 25. now we go from 10 up to 44 these days. and the corporate rate, which is 35% right now, the average in europe is 25. so when we compete internationally, we've hobbled ourselves because we tax our companies, our manufacturing companies more harshly than they do theirs. he wants to take that rate to 25 so it's close, so it's at the european average. now, i'd rather be better than europe. the canadians are about 17%. i prefer the canadian rate than the european average. so the republicans and democrats in their two budgets really show who they are. now, there's also a third budget which is the progressive budget which is the more liberal democrats, and they do massive new taxes on top of the ones i discussed plus massive new spending. so you have
